Queen

This is the best rock documentary since watching Dig! and The Filth & The Fury. Days of our lives made me realise the only reason I loved Queen but didn't rave about them as a youngster was because the press had it in for Queen and portrayed them as uncool. I wonder if their earliest hit "Killer Queen" had something to do with that. It must have struck a chord with Buckingham Palace? It's remarkably prescient with lyrics such as

"She's a killer Queen, dynamite with a laser beam"

"perfumes came naturally from Paris, for cars she couldn't care less"

Was Freddy Mercury channelling the lyricist spirit? Nobody knows, much like I didn't know Freddy Mercury was gay until the evening news on 24 November 1991 when I was about to hit the road again and leave the UK for the first time to work abroad. 

I can still remember the scene. I was in bed watching the TV and I know it's a cliché but I was both shocked and surprised. Come to think of it, Freddy Mercury, Princess Diana and Amy Winehouse are the three people I've been most affected by after they died aside from my Great Grandma Lucy Myers. 

The Bible she gave me as a present is within reaching distant as I type. I use it for reference. This is the second part.

Nassim Harramein - Physics As You Go

I was listening to Stephen Hawking's sidekick Leonard Mlodinow being interviewed a couple of nights ago lamely defending CERN smashing stuff up to see what happens even though the standard model we currently use works just fine. He compared it to discovering antibiotics when any cretin can figure out the first people to confiscate the technology will be the Pentagon to blow even more shit up. In a world where famine is still rampant I'm appalled that materialist science is selfish, dumb and dangerous. (The Standard model is Lego for Freemasons but let's not give the kids a the bulldozers till more urgent problems are solved).

In contrast Nassim Harramein's latest presentation on a physics is exciting, forward thinking and spiritually integrated. His humorous and engaging style is refreshing with wry observations that in the world of conventional physics nothing actually touches each other at an atomic level. I'd love to see him and Maurice Cotterell discuss their respective understanding of the universe. They generally tip toe around each other's ideas but don't always agree.


Update: I was listening to a book review of How the Hippies Saved Physics and I understand Hawkins 'caved' to Susskind in which case it's unfair to describe him as a sidekick.

Kubrick's Attention To Detail

It's frustrating that around the globe hundreds of Kubrick fans laud his attention to detail and yet gloss over the relentless symbolism in his movies confirming his NASA appointment to film the moon landings. Endless debates discussing the lingerie and ignoring the sex. It's the greatest money shot ever missed.

That Eye of Providence as used by Andy McDowell in Clockwork Orange for example. In a world with Eyes Wide Shut I can only encourage fans to Google Jay Weidner and Kubrick to understand the man. Jay doesn't mind a little hyperbole to rile those who fear most the Easter eggs Kubrick dropped into his movies, but his analysis is the authoritative big picture. 

Cut.
